In the past, people have always asked me, saying that old Jiang you have talked about KYO, wu zhihui, Hechi, Bao Wang, then why don't you talk about children? At that time, I explained that the main business of the child was not in 97, not that I did not want to talk about it, and that I would have a chance later. Later, when people asked repeatedly, I explained it like this. But let's ask ourselves behind closed doors, what is the opportunity in the future, when will it be in the future, and do you believe this yourself? So when I looked, I can't fool the audience so much, we choose the day is better than bumping into the sun, just today, let's talk to you about the children in Guangzhou.
Let me first talk about my opinion of children, who is the first person to deserve the name of a veritable Chinese competitive fighting game. Although I used to talk about how KYO was and how Wu Zhihui was, no matter how well they played, they were only limited to the small piece of 97, and their influence in the entire field of competitive fighting games was incomparable with that of children. In China, fighting games for children are equivalent to swimming to Sun Yang and billiards to Ding Junhui.
In the past, I have been thinking about a thing, saying that a person works in an industry, to what extent is it the top level, is it the top ten ah top five or the top three? Later, I understood that this has nothing to do with numbers, and what does it have to do with what? If you can make people outside this circle, that is, people who don't pay attention to your industry, know that there are people like you, then no matter what standard evaluation is used, you are successful. Kids can do that. In the whole field of fighting games, only children can do this, and Cheng Long ten years ago may barely be able to do it.
Let's pull back the time to the scene of the 2007 Tokyo Fighting Drama King of Fighters 98 finals in Japan. Dou drama is the highest level of competitive fighting game platform in Japan, and it has international influence. At that time, there were many overseas players in addition to Japanese players. On the Chinese side, there were Cheng Long, the first boxing champion at the time, an offensive kaleidoscope from Guangdong, and a few masters like Yongjian, Dong Xuan, Wang Chong, and Yang from Taiwan. Among them, there is also a very young contestant with an ID called a child, who participated as a representative of Shanghai. The kid went from the round of 32 all the way to the top 8. Before playing the quarterfinals, there is a pre-match interview session according to the format. The other players interviewed before the game were very low-key, and the words they said were similar, basically hoping that they could play a level, and the style of the game was to play friendship, basically this set of snorts. As for the child, he is different from others, very high-profile. In his Cantonese Mandarin, he said, "I didn't want to say anything more when I came here." I came to Japan to win the championship! "Everyone hears that this is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, even if you are high-level and you have self-confidence, then Big Brother Cheng Long is standing next to you, you say that you want to win the championship, where do you put people?" Let's talk about the fight drama this game is a game of victory and defeat, probability we know, this master plays the more low hand innings, the more certain it is. However, if it is really a grab, the victory or defeat is really difficult to say, the master can easily overturn the ship in the gutter, and everyone pinches the sweat for the child. But later found that the child's Chris is particularly strong, playing steadily and shooting sharply, no matter how much disadvantage in front of him can always be pulled back, and finally stumbled all the way to the final with Cheng Long.
Before the final interview, Cheng Long said a particularly interesting sentence, which can still be remembered today. Because of Cheng Long's words, coupled with the fact that the child won Cheng Long, it is equivalent to completing a inheritance between the old and the new, and since then the child has become famous in the first world.
Who is this child, how can he be so powerful? How can it be so strong? Who the hell is he? The child's real name is Zeng Zhuojun, born in 1989, born in Guangzhou. Why is he called a child? In fact, it is very simple, that is, when he was very young, he was soaking in the game hall since he was six years old, playing well, everyone knew him, but they didn't know what his name was, just like children and children called him. When he later learned his real name, he didn't remember it, so he called him a child.
Toddler he is a genius in a fighting game in the true sense of the word. Saying that he is a genius is reflected in two aspects, the first is to control what game, his understanding of the character is very in place, it can be said that it is an era ahead of his contemporaries. The difference between this genius and ordinary people is not that what geniuses can do ordinary people can never do, but that ordinary people can only look at the achievements that ordinary people can achieve after repeated training and practice. Another point is the child's big hands, big and flexible. When he was nine years old, he accidentally found that he could play games with one hand, and he used one hand to fight with people, and no one else had ever hit him. Then this belongs to the Lord of God to appreciate the meal to eat, we ordinary people only have the share of envy, compared with him, we feel that our hands are white.
Then the child he has achieved today as such a genius thanks to his family, his family understands him very well. His father said to him, "I have no objection to you playing games, but you remember for me, you have to do my best to do anything." Playing games also has to give me a championship. "Now let's see how much it's more than a championship."
As a child, he won the first championship in his life, when he was only 12 years old, he won the first Guangzhou Boxing Champion 2000 Championship. Before 2007, he mainly ran back and forth between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and basically won the championship of all the competitions held in these two cities. By 2007, the child had completely shown his face. That year in Beijing, there was a fierce fighting 98 Sino-Japanese team competition, the child participated as a Chinese representative, played 11 consecutive wins, originally a team competition, the result is to watch the child play alone. After that game, as I said earlier, even people who don't pay attention to the King of Fighters begin to know the child. A mention of children is NB, too powerful, children are good for the glory of the country.
After 2012, his main battlefield came to foreign countries, he has been to Melbourne, to Las Vegas and to Cannes, Dubai, the battlefield has also shifted to Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter V, King of Fighters 13, King of Fighters 14, take the championship to get soft, that is really to plant the five-star red flag in every corner of the world.
So in the end, what I want to say is that it doesn't matter how many championships he wins and how much money he makes, the most remarkable thing about him is that he changed everyone's view of an industry almost single-handedly. This is like Ding Junhui at that time, Ding Junhui said before he played out who likes to play billiards, soaking in the billiards room all day, what do you think? This man is certainly not a good person, an idle person in society, a second-rate person. After Ding Junhui played it, he knew that billiards was such a gentleman's sport. Arcade machine is the same, the child playing arcade machine he proved that the arcade machine can get ahead as well, and even on behalf of the country to win glory for the country.
Finally, if I were to evaluate the child, I would say that he was a fighting genius who was born at the right time. He was able to succeed, with time, location, people, both top talent, and a love for the industry, but also to get the understanding of his family, and finally caught up with the golden wave of video game development. Let's think about it, what are you doing is exactly what you like, and the understanding of your family, the support of fans, how cool is this? The eldest husband should be born so also. At that time, Mingyue said a sentence that I think is very suitable for use here: "There is only one kind of success in this world, that is, to be able to spend this life in the way you like." ”
